FARMINGTON, CONN. – Dr. Jennifer Wolf, orthopaedic surgeon and hand specialist, is now seeing patients at the University of Connecticut Health Center, joining Dr. Craig Rodner in the New England Musculoskeletal Institute’s hand and wrist program.

This prestigious fellowship allows for the development of national and international relationships which contribute to her pursuit of higher learning and scholarship.

Wolf comes to the UConn Health Center from the University of Colorado, where she was a member of the clinical faculty in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery. Her post-doctoral education includes a hand surgery fellowship at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., and an orthopaedic trauma fellowship at Brown University in Providence, where she also completed her residency and internship training. Her medical degree is from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. She is board certified in orthopaedic surgery and holds a Certificate of Added Qualification in Surgery of the Hand from the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery.
